Chapter 14: Come

The excruciating loneliness she feels is unbearable, and the tedious repetition of his words inside her head are making it worst. Being alone in the dark made her think about: how she took the sun for granted and cursed it when its scorching heat touches her skin, now she misses it. How insensitive she was with interacting, she should've tried making friends. How boastful she was when she talks about how to live life when she knows nothing. What if she did this and that back then comes to mind after the thought of never doing this and that when she had the chance.

She sat at the corner of the room, hugging her knees. She never thought that it would come to this. If she only knew, she would have accepted her fate and let her father bury her six feet under the ground rather than to suffer from the agony of doubting herself.

"I grew up in Eden, not in a tower. My father is a priest, not a vampire hunter nor a king. My mother passed away when she gave birth to me. It was the first time I met the Sakamakis, and I never met Beatrix, Christa, nor Cordelia. This is my first encounter with the Tsukinamis. I'm not a gate, I'm a person. I'm just a normal girl" she kept chanting her ambiguous reasonings loudly. She laughed at how pitiful she might have look like "They're liars. LIARS. LIARS. LIARS. LIARS. LIARS... "

Anxiety exceeded her curiosity. It makes her wish she never asked, and that she never forced out the truth. She left her friends for this, she put her present at stake for this, it's too late for her now to deplore the choice she made.

Idiot

Thinking that she went with Karlheinz's enemies without a single doubt in mind, makes her hate herself even more. The man did told her that after the contract ends he'll send someone to get her. The possibility that it could be Ritcher crossed her mind, but she went with the Tsukinamis instead, hoping uncompromisingly that they can extend the dream she's living on.

"Tsk"

Shin is sick from watching over her day and night, and listening to her monologue. He's fully aware that it's he's fault for going ahead without waiting for his brother's orders, but he can't fully admit that he's not enjoying the look on his brother's face. He's obviously annoyed.

Shin's violent temper and aggressiveness deliberately disobeyed his brother and went all the way to tell the human about the answers she had been seeking for, which has caused Yui to have a mental breakdown. Ever since, Carla never failed to lecture him about how the human brain works and how complex it is, albeit she's not a human she was programmed by that man to act like one.

Carla heave a sigh "I certainly never failed to remind you that we need to let herself discover the truth, and yet you disobeyed me"

"She isn't Buddha. Do you think that by leaving her alone in the dark can enlighten her?" Shin replied. He's obviously fed up from the situation, because if he isn't he would've apologize instead "Don't give me that crap"

"I don't remember ever giving you the authority to move on your own" Carla hissed "I'm still your king. I'm the one who gives orders"

"I know that..." the red-haired vampire replied, rubbing the back of his neck "...but breaking her is necessary"

Feeling dizzy, she paid no heed to the Tsukinamis. She leaned behind the wall as her eyes fluttered close. The obscure thoughts that had been worrying her had left. Darkness, only darkness remains.

Unheeding of the fact that she's opening the gate, she let herself drift off to sleep, leaving reality to oblivion. An iridescent light surrounded her. Making the Tsukinamis froze from bewilderment.

She heard rustling of leaves and tweeting of birds. She felt the wind blew. As her eyes became ajar she met the vast blue skies. Standing up, she gets a clear view of where she is, a bunch of flowers of all kinds and of all colors are visible to where your eyes can look afford beyond. The sight is breathtaking, it's like a painting that no painter could paint. No words could describe the beauty of this scenery. The ambiance is indescribable.

She heard a faint voice calling her, she turned around looking for who it was. The flowers moved aside making a path for her. Having the feeling that she should follow it, she walked along the path, spreading her hands at each side to touch the flowers as she hum her favourite tune.

She came into a halt as her eyes caught sight of a huge apple tree. She noticed that the flowers surrounding the tree were dead, the once blue skies were tainted grey, and the ambiance changed. Feeling unwell at the sight, she decided to go back when she noticed a girl with an exquisite beauty sitting under the tree reading an immense rare strange-looking book.

Out of curiosity Yui boldly asked "Who are you?"

The girl looked up at her with those lifeless and dull sherbet pink orbs she has. The girl flipped a strand of her long blonde hair that was covering her face. Eyeing her, she realized that this girl looks just like her. Not to brag, but they have the same features. It's almost as if she's looking at her own reflection.

"I don't have an appellation"

"Why?"

"I'm not given any" the girl shrugged "You never gave me"

"Me?" Yui pointed herself "Why would I give you, why do you look like me?"

"Don't worry, I'm unmitigatedly unconcerned regrading your negligence" with that monotonous tone that's almost like a robot, the girl answered "Nevertheless I'm just a fragment of you"

'She talks weird' "A f-fragment?"

The girl nodded "My existence was bring about from the things you rejected"

You rejected that hit her. She was enchanted by this place's beauty she almost forgot that a moment ago she was convincing herself that Shin was lying.

"H-huh?" she knelt, covering her ears. The heartrending truth that she was running away from came to mind "Say, can you stop the voices inside my head. Will you take them away?!" she exclaimed "If you're created from the things that I rejected, then you can take this pain away, you now the truth, you can tell me who really I am?!" she sobbed, finally giving in from the tears she'd been holding back "Tell me?!"

"Selfish" the girl gritted her teeth "Liar. Pretentious. Despicable. Conceited"

"Wha-"

The impassive expression she has changed. She's looking at her as if she's a shit. Yui who doesn't understand what's happening remained silent, returning her gaze.

"I hate you"

"...with magic and a little science he managed to turn her into a human, and he arranged your meeting"

Before any of them could react an iridescent light blinded them, a strong wind blew the door open. Adjusting their eyes from the blinding light, they caught a sight of an apparent silhouette.

"Come" the figure said extending its hand towards them, penetrating that it's inviting them "You're all blessed to set foot in my garden"
